It mentions them, then says it will explain them later, but does not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean P. Kane" To: Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 7:12 PM Subject: RE: [gentoo-dev] virtual problem Virtual/* means that it isn't an exact package and you simply need something that gives you that service (and is who's ebuild is setup to claim to provide that service). i.e. there are a variety of system loggers like metalog, syslogd, syslogd-ng and they all provide virtual/logger, so that any one of them will suffice for some thing that depends on virtual/logger. Where-as if you depended on syslogd, the ebuild would fail for someone using metalog. I believe this is covered more here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-howto.html Sean -----Original Message----- From: Bill Kenworthy [mailto:billk@iinet.net.au] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 16:28 To: gentoo-dev List Subject: [gentoo-dev] virtual problem I have not been able to do an "emerge --update world" for a couple of weeks now due to various vritual/?????????? packages. e.g., xmms depended on virtual/opengl. I unermerged it and ended up emergeing a number of other packages in the process of getting it back. Now it is done one of those packages, qt, complains of missing virtual/glu when I try and emerge world. Can someone explain this whole virtual thing and how to fix, or give a reference in the docs? BillK * I have noted a couple of other emails along these lines, but havent seen any fixes yet. _______________________________________________ gentoo-dev mailing list gentoo-dev@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev _______________________________________________ gentoo-dev mailing list gentoo-dev@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
